Singing a Bollywood song while batting in an intense situation of an international level match, chewing a gum and hitting sixes at the same time is not every cricketer’s cup of tea unless he is Virender Sehwag. Viru is as fond of Bollywood songs as he loves to hit the ball out of the park. Sehwag started his international career in 1999 against Pakistan but failed miserably; he never got a chance in ODI cricket for the next 20 months. Sehwag started off again in 2000 against Zimbabwe, scored his maiden fifty and awarded by his first ever man of the match prize. Sehwag soon acknowledged as an heir of ‘The God Of Cricket’, acknowledged by Sachin Tendulkar several times. He was in and out of the team with fewer appearances in test cricket, but when given a chance, Sehwag just proved himself that he is more capable for test cricket.

Achievements & Records:

The most productive and career-defining year for Sehwag were his performances during the year 2008-09, he piled thousands of runs in those couple of years in both tests and ODIs. Sehwag played offensively against all oppositions throughout his career. His strike rate is only below Shahid Afridi in international cricket. Virender Sehwag is one of the only two batsmen to score a triple century in tests and a double century in ODIs. He, along with Lara and Sir Don Bradman holds the record to struck a triple ton twice in their careers. Sehwag was India’s second player to score a double century in One Day Cricket, the fastest too in ODIs. Sehwag, at times, is termed as a rapid fire weaponry for Indian forefront rather a belligerent armament and most of the times the lethal one. Sehwag smashed a 250 off just 207 deliveries, a fastest 250 to date. On a lighter note, Viru is often trolled by cricket fans because of his lame tweets on twitter.

Net Worth Of Virender Sehwag:

Sehwag’s IPL career was a bit straightforward as he spent most of his IPL career with the same team, Delhi DareDevils. He was the only player to be retained in the same team for straight six editions of IPL. He captained DD for the first two editions, forfeited his captaincy and transferred it to Gautam Gambhir. His net worth increased substantially during his successful IPL career as he wasn’t getting any chances in the international cricket due to lack of form and injuries. Sehwag was part of Asia XI, World XI, Sachin’s Blasters, and Kings XI Punjab, and Delhi. Sehwag retired on 20th October 2015. His total worth as of 2017 is compiled here.
